MEMBERSHIP POLICY OBDC club members have privileges and duties. Privileges Free entrance to Friday night dances/lessons, discounts to classes/workshops, and admission to club parties/gatherings Duties Complete six tasks, or hold official club position Tasks
**The following must be first approved by an officer: ask or e-mail the club**
New Members To become an OBDC member, you must complete three tasks. With
the completion of the third, you shall receive your membership card.
The card will be stamped three times and there will be three more
spaces- the card must be filled with all six stamps to have membership
carry over into the next term (‘term’ being each of the four seasons,
as matched with the school terms for college). Also, for two of
the six tasks you will need to come to the dance early and help with
set-up to meet all the requirements for becoming a member. Current Members Members are required to do six tasks per term, including two required set-ups. For each task, he or she is responsible for getting his or her card stamped. Also, members are required to be on a team under an officer. This means that if the officer needs help they have someone to call on. Members are never *required* to take on the task the officer requests; they are also allowed to do tasks for other teams, as well as Friday night tasks in order to gain their stamps. Membership is free of fees and charges and only costs a bit of time. To Gain Entrance to a Dance or Workshop Show your current term membership card to the auditors. You will then receive a stamp on your hand, which allows re-entry to the event. Honorary Members Honorary members are granted free admittance to OBDC events, but no OBDC authority or voting privileges. To gain entrance they should have a club officer vouch for them. Honorary members include the founders of the OBDC, past presidents of the OBDC and people who have been granted honorary membership. In order to be granted honorary membership, members must first be elected by the current executive board. A majority vote is then required by the current OBDC members to grant elected persons honorary membership. Members who have been granted honorary membership may have their limited privileges revoked after a majority vote by the current OBDC members. Officer Elections and Meetings Officer elections are held every Spring term. Officer positions are: President, Secretary, Treasurer, Web Master, Office Manager, Music Coordinator, Teacher Coordinator, Operations Manager, Graphics and Design/Formal Decorations Manager, Advertising Coordinator, and Membership Tracker. Officer elections take place in Century Room A in the EMU on the UO campus during a weekly Monday meeting. Everyone, including pre-members, are allowed to come to the weekly meetings. As an officer, one will always have a fully stamped card and always have membership for the duration of being in office. Oregon Ballroom Dance Club |
